Question
Answer
Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD)   'clumsy child' & developmental apraxia. motor coordination - not due to a general medical condition  
🗑
Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) clinical presentation   poor gross & fine motor skills (unable to skip, diff w/crossing midline, poor handwriting, unable to tie shoes) muscle weakness & low tone, requires verbal & visual cues  
🗑
DCD task performance   re-learning a task each time attempted  
🗑
Plagiocephaly   'a flattened head' incidence (back to sleep campaign), positional; plagio, brachy, scapho. Crainiosynostosis - sutures fused together wrong  
🗑
Plagiocephaly PT intervention   prone positioning!! helmet in severe cases. see by 2 months, 10-12 months too late  
🗑
Torticollis presentation   asymmetrical posturing of head & neck, sidebend to ipsilateral side w/rotation to contralateral side (named for direction of tilt - 75% right)  
🗑
Torticollis types   sternomastoid tumor, muscular, post-postural  
🗑
Torticollis clinical presentation   Right - shortening of R upper trap & L splenius capitus. Significan trunk tightness, decreased symmetrical upper & lower body rotation & lateral flexion  
🗑
Torticollis secondary complications   developmental delay, shoulder elevation, decreased midline control & ROM during growth spurts, fussiness, irritability w/poor self-calming, decreased tolerance to movement, pain.  
🗑
Torticollis PT intervention   cargiver education!! positioning, stretching, developmental motor skills, facilitation of 'opposing' musculature  
🗑
Brachial Plexus Injury (BPI)   Incidence 1/1000 births, Paralysis or weakness of the UE due to trauma to C5-T1 spinal nerve roots  
🗑
Types of Brachial Plexus Injury (BPI)   Erb's Palsy (C5-C6 - waiter's tip), Klumpke's Palsy (C8-T1 - claw hand, don't have elbow ext, int rot & finger ext), Erb/Klumpke - entire UE involved  
🗑
Causes of Brachial Plexus Injury (BPI)   difficult labor, large baby, hypotonic infant, (traction on should during delivery in breech position or head & neck during vertex delivery  
🗑
Symptoms of OPBI   facial involvement, clavicular/humeral fx, subluxation of shld, torticollis, partial paralysis to diaphram (C4)  
🗑
BPI PT intervention   E-stim, Botox, position/active movement promotion, modified constraint-induced protocols  
🗑
BPI surgical intervention   neurosurgery between 6-12m, before 12m ideal, effectiveness is ?. Ortho surgery for contractures/postural problems  
🗑
Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip (DDH)/Congential Hips Dysplasia (CHD) - Treatment   up to 6m - positioning in hip flex & abd. up to 12m - closed reduction, spica cast. over 1yr - surgical osteotomy (pavlik harness/casting)  
🗑
Club Foot   plantarflexion, inversion - varus (rearfoot), midfoot/forefoot add & supination. 1/1,000 births, 2:1 males. bilateral approx 30-50% of cases  
🗑
Clubfoot Classification Category 1   postural cluvfoot, flexible deformity, medial & plantar deviation of had/neck of talus, foot size equal no atrophy  
🗑
Clubfoot Classification Category 2   true club feet, fixed deformity, involves talonavicular & midtarsal jts, navicular & entrie forefoot add & supinated, soft tissues of calf & foot are contracted & underdeveloped  
🗑
Clubfoot Classification Category 3   sever, fixed deformity, usually associated w/myelodysplasia, may have other severe neuromusculoskeletal problems  
🗑
Clubfoot Interventions   correct deformity early (prior to 1yr) and completely. Maintain corrected position until foot stops growing (ponseti serial casting & Dennis Brown Splint). Mild cases mixed in surgical outcome  
🗑
Osteogenesis Imperfecta   Brittle bone disease. Inherited disorder of connective tissue resulting in gfragile bones & recurrent fractures, muscle weakness & ligmentous laxity w/blue sclera  
🗑
Osteogenesis Imperfecta Incidence & severity   1/200,000 birth. Mild - forms classified differently. Severe - multiple fractures at birth 7 infants do not usually survive.  
🗑
Osteogenesis Imperfecta Management   Bisphosphonate, bone marrow transplant or surgical -intermedullary rods in long bones.  
🗑
Osteogenesis Imperfecta PT Management   Family education & SUPPORT/COUNSELING. ROM & strengthening program-usually aquatic, reduce injury, splinting, casting, assistive devices (prevent deformities)  
🗑
Legg Calve Perthes Disease   Boys 4:1, 4-12yrs. Disease of the hip initiated by avascular necrosis of femoral head  
🗑
Legg Calve Perthes Disease Presentation   limp w/pain referred to groin, thigh & knee. Hip ROM limitation in IR, abd & flex  
🗑
Legg Calve Perthes Disease Medical Intervention   orthotic use to maintain hip approximation, surgery.  
🗑
Legg Calve Perthes Disease PT Intervention   strengthening & ROM pre/post orthotic or surgical management. Maintain pain-free ROM & non-weight bearing during progressive stage  
🗑
Slipped Capital Femoral Epiphysis   Boys, 11-15, obesity factor. Femoral head slips or is displaced from normal alignment w/femoral neck.  
🗑
Slipped Capital Femoral Epiphysis Clinical Presentation   pain-groin, medial thigh or knee, limp, ER of LE, limited hip flex, abd & IR  
🗑
Slipped Capital Femoral Epiphysis Medical Intervention   stabilize growth plate through bedrest, traction or surgical pinning  
🗑
Slipped Capital Femoral Epiphysis PT Intervention   NWB, gain training  
🗑
Autism   behavior conditions existing on continuum involving: socialization, communication, repetitive behavior  
🗑
Autism Clinical signs   evident before 3 yrs old. poor eye contact, koesn't know how to play w/toys, excessively lines up toys or objects, overly attached to one particular toy/object, doesn't smile, appear hearing impaired  
🗑
Autism PT Presentation   60-80% demonstrate motor signs, poor muscle tone (hypotonia), poor motor planning, toe walking, sensory impairments (hypo/hyper)  
🗑
Autism PT Intervention   sensory integration, coordination activities, motor patterning /planning, low tone, focus on safety, benefit from increased structure or consistent plan, decreased verbal interaction (communication w/pictures/visual aids)  
🗑
